Most men stick with the usual when it comes to beef—they tend to like it ground and shaped into burger patties or in the form of a bone-in steak.

Look, that’s fine. But that stuff, day after day, can grow boring. Plus, there's so much more to the cow than these tired and true cuts.

That’s why we talked to top butchers across the country for the choicest pieces of meat they keep for themselves to cook up at home. They came back with picks that are as surprising as they are flavorful.

On this list, you'll find everything from a boneless (!) rib eye to organ meat. Oh, you’re squeamish are you? Good thing you'll also discover the best ways to cook and serve each delicious option.

So treat this as a beef-based bucket list, designed to expand your edible education. Eat all the cuts on this checklist and you’ll broaden what you consider delicious when it comes to beef.
